Ride Cornwall
Know exactly when to leave for your bus.
Live Cornwall Transit times, a trip planner that speaks plain English (et français), and the bus moving on the map. Free for Android and iPhone.
Independent app, not affiliated with the City of Cornwall or Cornwall Transit.
Everything you need to catch the bus
Built for Cornwall riders, with live data from Cornwall Transit's real-time system.
Live bus times
Real-time arrivals at every stop, with “3 min late” or “Live” shown clearly, plus wheelchair-accessible trips and cancellations.
Trip planner
Type where you're going. See when to leave, how long you'll walk, which bus to take and when you'll arrive. Transfers included.
Watch your bus move
Follow your bus live on the map, facing the way it's driving, with its route path and the stop you're waiting at.
Arrival alerts
Get a notification when your bus is 2, 5 or 10 minutes away, even with the app closed. Stay inside until it's time to go.
Share your trip
Send family a link that shows your bus on a live map and when it arrives. It shows the bus, never your phone's location.

I used “TheBus”. Is this the same app?
